Last updated 16th Aug 2024
Following the lovely news back in April that they are now engaged, Winter Love Island winners Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan have now shared even more exciting news, welcoming a new arrival!
Taking to Instagram to introduce their adorable new fur baby, Kai and Sanam revealed they are now proud dog parents to a Cockapoo puppy called Tinker Bell Fagan. They wrote alongside the cute pics: 'We’re excited to announce our family recently got a little bit bigger❤️ Welcome little Tinker Bell Fagan 🐶'. (sic)
Fans and friends of the couple were quick to comment on the post, with Sanam more than willing to answer questions.
When a fan asked what will happen to the pooch when they are away working, she replied: 'Awh thank you! she’s got two lovely grandmas who will fight to look after her when we’re away for work😂 🥰'.
When Love Island co-star Ron Hall wrote: 'Name is so questionable tho 😂', Sanam commented back: '😂😂 she’s soft& small like a little fairy!! 🧚'. (sic)
Another fan wrote: 'O my goodness! The most precious little addition. Enjoy every minute becoming pawrents', wit another writing: 'She’s gorgeous cookerpoos are a lovely breed so loving'. (sic)
The new arrival comes just months after Kai proposed to Sanam as the pair enjoyed a gondola ride.
Sharing the news with fans, Kai wrote: 'Introducing the next Mrs Fagan ❤️💍
'Beautiful, Caring, Loving and Smart are just some of the words that describe you. I love loving you, I love you and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you ❤️'. (sic)
In recent days, 26-year-old Sanam has also revealed the exciting news that she's returning to her day job as a social worker.
In a video on social media, Sanam said: "I've just come on here to share some really exciting and happy news. Today, I have finally completed my new qualified year as a social worker, which is amazing."
"I had to leave my job when I went into Love Island, and I've always had a passion for what I did and the fact that I left it didn't sit well with me. I'm so glad to be back in my profession, I love what I do.
"But long story short, I've finally completed my ASYE (newly qualified) year as a social worker. Leaving work to jump into a new experience blessed me with a fiancé and a new life but I felt like I was missing a part of my career.
"Going back to complete this is the best thing I did, especially as I worked so hard for it. I finally have my purpose back again in life, as well as being able to live the best of both worlds.
"So happy to be where I am today in life."
